David Fincher Says Jake Gyllenhaal Was 'Very Distracted' While Filming 2007's 'Zodiac'

Say what you will about Michael Bay, his overuse of explosions and slow-motion hero shots, but the man can get a pretty good cast together. Case in point, last month it was reported that Jake Gyllenhaal was in talks to star in Bay’s new film, “Ambulance.” Now, he’s getting some company in the form of one of the best up-and-coming actors we have today: Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.

Dave McNary Film ReporterYahya Abdul-Mateen II has come on board the Michael Bay thriller “Ambulance” opposite Jake Gyllenhaal, with shooting expected early next month.“Ambulance” was first announced a month ago with plot details under tight wraps. The script, written by Chris Fedak, is based on a 2005 Dutch thriller about two brothers on the run from the police.

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is in negotiations to join Jake Gyllenhaal in the Michael Bay action-thriller Ambulance. Universal recently finalized the deal to distribute the film with Endeavor Content handling the packaging of the project.

You are likely to feel whisked away to the Golden Age of Hollywood while watching “Mank,” David Fincher’s historical character study about legendary studio screenwriter Herman Mankiewicz (Gary Oldman) and his painstaking process of writing Orson Welles’ “Citizen Kane.” Still, Fincher’s Hollywood epic won’t necessarily register as tritely nostalgic or melancholic about the past in a way showbiz movies often do.

Even before we saw one beautiful frame of black and white footage, David Fincher’s “Mank” was already getting incredible hype and buzz as a sure-thing awards contender and one of the most anticipated films of 2020. And if you believe the reviews, it would seem as if people were guessing correctly, as “Mank” is possibly the biggest favorite to land heaps of awards this season.

It’s a great irony of Hollywood that actors become stars due to their onscreen excellence, yet the fame that results can wind up interfering with the work that made them celebrities in the first place.

Last year it was Martin Scorsese accidentally starting a war between filmmakers and Marvel after comparing the MCU to theme park rides.
